Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Rest 60–90 seconds between sets to maintain quality without full recovery.
- 2. Stretch-to-contraction on every rep maximises fiber recruitment.
- 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
Regression:
Perform the unilateral version first to identify and address side-to-side imbalances.
Progression:
Add a loaded stretch position: deficit, extended ROM, or cable-based variation for more time at end range.
Common Problems:
No peak contraction — enforce a 1-second squeeze at the end range before the return.
